[R] CRAN versions of lme4/Matrix don't appear to work with R 2.1.1
I am currently using R 2.1.1 under Windows and I do not seem to be able to load the current versions of lme4/Matrix. I have run 'update.packages.' I understand this is still experimental software but I would like access to a working version. Thanks.

Did you try upgrading to R 2.2.1? I just installed R 2.2.1 with the latest version of "lme4" and "Matrix", and they loaded fine for me. > library(lme4) Loading required package: Matrix Loading required package: lattice > sessionInfo() R version 2.2.1, 2005-12-20, i386-pc-mingw32 attached base packages: [1] "methods" "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" [7] "base" other attached packages: lme4 lattice Matrix "0.98-1" "0.12-11" "0.99-6" Running Windows XP. (This may be obvious from 'i386-pc-mingw23', but I'm no sufficiently aware to know.) Doug Bates has worked very hard to create this, and I for one would not want to ask him to take the time to make it backward compatible for those who for whatever reason haven't yet upgraded to R 2.2.1, especially since for most of us it is fairly easy to upgrade.

I made a typographical error, since I am running R 2.2.1. I wouldn't dream of asking Professor Bates to make things backwards compatible to an old version. Since the packages are loading fine for you, I will assume there was a download error with the packages I have, uninstall them, and try again.

I blew away my existing R directory structure, reinstalled R 2.2.1 from scratch, downloaded lme4 and associated packages from scratch, tried to load lme4 and got the same error message. Again, I am using the Windows version of R on XP.
